I was just wondering what is normal and what is not.

I have:


52 Oaks.


28 Pines.


29 western cedars.


2 Mulberries.


1 blue spruce.


2 that I don't know what they are. Different trees.


1 Hackleberry.


1 Bobock or Osage Oarnge, also known as a hedge apple.


5 willows.


1 Southren Magnolia.


2 Poplars. (looks a little like an aspen)


1 redbud.

1 Boston Pear.


1 Red Maple.





So, that works out to 127 trees . All the oaks are huge, the poplars, the willows.


The pines I planted this year, and are smallish. I planted a couple of pines two years ago and they are getting pretty decent size. The western cedars I planted two years ago, they are medium size.


the other fruit trees are still smaller or medium size, planted them this year.

WOW! Whizzle has a lot of oxygen being generated there.

We have 1 scrub oak
1 macadamia
1 pomegrante
1 orange
1 grapefruit- we don't eat grapefruit
and 1 stupid fig tree that I try to hack down but it keeps coming back and Mr. F. won't chop it down.

Yeah, but when it comes time to weed eat, it takes hours and hours.

Does the macadamia tree have nuts on it?


I would love to have some fruit trees, but it freezes here, kills them all.

the osage Orange I have is not edible, or if it is edible, it don't taste good.


The boston pear has no fruit, though it is a fruit tree.


The mulberries do have mulberries on them, but they get full of worms and bugs to fast.


I wonder if nut trees would survive a freeze?

The macadamia nut tree has nuts on it. We harvest buckets of them right before Thanksgiving time.

quote:
Mature macadamia trees are fairly frost hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as 24° F, but the flower clusters are usually killed at 28° F. Young trees can be killed by light frosts. M. tetraphylla appears to be slightly more cold-tolerant. Consistently high summer temperatures will reduce yields, although again M. tetraphylla shows more tolerance. When grown in a large tub, macadamias make suitable container plants.

Crappola, we get down to around 5 degrees here. Not every year, but we often see teens.

Sorry Dave. They really are great if you have them. The only problem we have is the leaves have really sharp ends on them. If you stick your hand in the tree, it will cut you.

In the non-cow pasture part of our yard we have:

Three cheery trees

One Western Red cedar that planted itself and we still don't know where to put it

Three apple trees

In our cow pasture we have:

Four apple trees that we pick from, and an undetermined amount that were conquered by the blackberry vines.

One pear tree

One pearapple tree

And about a hundred Western Red cedars, Douglas Firs, Western Hemlocks, and other kinds on the other side of the creek.

So like Whidden, we have a whole bunch of trees, but we only have to worry about clipping around five of them (the cedar is in a barrel until we decide where it will go and one of the apples we just leave alone.)

We also have fourteen blueberry bushes, and THOSE are SUCH a pain to clip around!

You mean trees at your house? I had a palm tree outside of my old condo. They chopped it down. I cussed at the jerks because it was ass early in the morning, and HECK don't take too kindly to be waken by some damn wood chipper.
